Minnesota Mountain Bike Series

I will add some photos to the site shortly but in the mean time you can check out photos here

Unfortunately I am unable to attend two of the remaining events,  the Laddies Loppet and the Single Track Escape in St. Cloud.  I have it on good authority that Bruce from Skinnyski.com will be there as usual capturing all the action.  I invite all of you who also capture images during the race to share them on the MNSCS share site. The link can be found just below.  Thanks and good luck to you all!

Check out the great battle between the states.

Hillsides Single Track Attack was a welcomed addition to the MNSCS line up.  The course challenged all riders and forced them to bring some different skills to the table. By table I may just mean tabletop, or a steep descent of stairs, many challenging rock gardens, and many punchy climbs which are only a few of the obstacles available for those that dare to ride the Hillside Trail.

The Memorial Classic may just be the race I miss most. The Bluffs in Red Wing offer amazing single track and this year the race directors extended the laps to offer a new challenge.  I have only heard positive feedback about the long laps, it offers further variation to our many wonderful events in the MNSCS. Thanks Adam for another great event!

Thanks to Adam Sundberg and the Coggs crew for putting on another amazing event at Mont du Lac!  Rumor has it, around 100 new racers gave their go at  Spanking the Dirt this year with the MNSCS. In the races' usual fashion, the weather was an obstacle of its own, the sun was sizzling but the rain the day before left the course just greasy enough to take a few down.

Enjoy the memories, until next year Dirt Spanker!!

The rain held out long enough this weekend for over 400 racers to challenge the Afton Avalache.  The hills claimed only a few victims (yes I have photos) and the rest overcame the challenge.  Now  they have some hill repeats under their belt, so conquering  the grueling climb that is the beginning of the upcoming Dirt Spanker in Mont du Lac should be no problem, right?

Hello-

I have been having technical difficulties with my site the last few days and I appreciate your patience as I work through these issues.  Most of the images are online at this time, however approx half of the sport photos are still not available for viewing. I do hope to have this issue corrected this evening so all photos will be available.

In the meantime, the MNSCS Share site is available for all those to took photos at the event and would like to share them with the racers. Please use the link below to begin loading your images.

We also have a new addition to the photo site this year, 401 photography. Mike Anderson is a Comp Class racer who will be taking images of the Citizen and Sport Classes for many of the events.  You can find a link to his website below.

Thank You to everyone for making Erik's Spring Cup a wonderful kick off of the 2009 Racing Season.  (517 Racers WOW!)
